Robie Creek

What a great way to start this blog!  This tree is near Robie Creek Park, east of Boise.  With each entry I will provide an image of an iconic tree here in the lovely state of Idaho.  Twisted, beautiful, gnarled or ancient, the criteria are varied but hopefully the image will speak for itself!

This tree puts me in mind of something George Orwell once wrote: "A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial.  That is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud."
